Hello!
Welcome to HGHY Nutrition
And here at HGHY Nutrition, we believe that good health starts in the gut.
Hippocrates himself said that 'all disease begins in the gut,'
Good gut health is vital to overall well-being as it is the foundation for the digestive system. A healthy gut helps to support a strong immune system and reduce inflammation, thus potentially reducing the risk of developing chronic illnesses in the future.
Additionally, a healthy gut helps to promote nutrient absorption, breakdown of food, and removal of waste. Having a healthy gut microbiome also helps to regulate hormones, improve mood, and promote better sleep.
After all, health is the foundation for everything in life.
How it all started
Our founder, Rita, a Health Coach and Yoga Teacher, found it difficult to consume all the nutrients she needed for the energy she wanted. With a busy schedule, she often couldn’t find the time to cook the variety of foods in order to meet all the nutritional requirements. Multivitamins weren't cutting it, so she began to look for alternatives.
Working as a Personal Trainer at the time, Rita noticed that it wasn’t only her facing difficulty, but also her clients; to consume all the fruits and vegetables they need for good health, as well as for weight loss.
While it’s really easy to grab a coffee, this is often a quick fix for tiredness with little nutrients that the body really needs to help with tiredness, which then affects good quality sleep.
While it was easy for them to consume their macronutrients (fats, protein and carbs), it was difficult for them to consume their micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) and clients relied on coffee for their energy rather than good quality food.
In a world full of pre-processed food, the consumption of fast foods, often containing excessive amounts of fat and insufficient amounts of vegetables, is a factor of harmful modification of the human intestinal microbiota
Often referred to as convenience foods, processed foods are suggested to be a contributor to the obesity epidemic and rising prevalence of chronic disease like heart disease and diabetes.
With convenience and health in mind, Rita searched for the optimal nutritional product to help people increase the uptake of vitamins and minerals and ended up with creating a formula that not only helps with energy levels and overall health, but also helps with to improve the gut microbiome, which thus helps to improve mood and better sleep.
